Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can have a variety of causes. At its most basic level, erectile dysfunction occurs when blood is not able to flow into the penis in the necessary volume.

For this reason, taking care of your blood pressure and circulatory system as part of basic health is one of the first steps to maintaining complete sexual health. Sufficient sleep, water, and exercise are part of a lifestyle that will prevent circulatory problems. In addition, a diet high in organic fruits and vegetables, which includes healthy omega-3 oils and protein from nuts and legumes, will be of great benefit.

Supplements to take for the support of blood circulation include nattokinase, which prevents the hardening of blood vessels, and l-arginine, which promotes the production of nitric oxide, which contributes to the relaxation of artery walls.

Another potential cause of ED is hormone imbalance. All men should be regularly checked to make sure they have appropriate levels of testosterone, DHT, and estrogen, all of which are major factors in your sexual health.

If you’re struggling with ED, first understand that you’re not alone. I see hundreds of male patients with the same challenges. Although I know it’s embarrassing to talk about, my suggestion is that you visit your doctor and ask them to test you for two things: your heart function and your hormone levels. Erectile dysfunction can actually […]

A big thank you to food scientist Massimo Marcone. He exhaustively reviewed more than 200 studies of “aphrodisiacs,” and found many dangerous, and nearly all useless. One rare exception? Saffron—a real aphrodisiac. Saffron, the delicate, minute stigma of the spring-heralding crocus flower, has been used for centuries, and to this day, in spice, tea, bath […]

When Western medicine finally started paying attention to traditional healing cultures, in this case, Indian Ayurvedic practices, ashwagandha’s incredible diversity of talents earned it countless exciting studies—which have proven that this old dog knows lots of timeless tricks: Testosterone booster – by up to 137% in just a few weeks Stress and anxiety reducer and […]

If you’re a man over 40, it’s likely that you can’t do sexually what the younger you used to do. Frequent, spontaneous arousal and performance are not so frequent, less arousing, and less satisfying. If you’ve tried any of Big Pharma’s so-called solutions—Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and so on—then you know they can come with a […]

Send the kids or grandkids out of the room. Put away all your work for a moment. If you have a delicate constitution, you might want to avert your eyes. Because today, we’re going to talk about sex. In our puritanical society, sex is often treated as a dirty secret. And, ironically, as we age, […]

L-arginine is an important amino acid used in the body to create nitric oxide. Not to be confused with nitrous oxide (used as an anesthetic), nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, improving circulation and supporting healthy blood pressure. What are the uses and benefits of L-Arginine? Found in red meat, poultry, fish and dairy products, […]

Pycnogenol might be one of the most exciting compounds in the natural health world right now. Discovered more than 40 years ago, pycnogenol has been the subject of more than 300 publications. An extract of the French Maritime pine, pycnogenol is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound with an impressive array of health benefits that […]

Comedian George Burns once joked, “Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.” And if you’re one of the 30 million American men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), I’m sure you can relate all too well to this sentiment. Many men with ED have been able to regain their […]

All of the popular erectile dysfunction drugs have side-effects, but now there’s a safe, natural and non-prescription solution to erectile problems that will also help improve your overall cardiovascular health. It is called Prelox®, and I always prefer natural remedies to prescription drugs for both their effectiveness and to avoid the side-effects that are all-too-common […]

I’d like to share with you the results of recent research linking pain and inflammation with a problem that’s all too common these days – low levels of the hormone testosterone. The study, which reviewed the results of nearly 100 previous clinical trials, found that lack of testosterone is linked to chronic pain and inflammation. […]
